Arguably the most feature-rich and attractive braille display in its class, the ultra slim, lightweight and durable ALVA 570 Satellite Pro gives a blind person unprecedented capabilities to read, navigate and obtain speech information, all without removing your hands from the braille display.

The ALVA 570 Satellite Pro is the first desktop model designed specifically for use within a graphical interface that gives users the advantage of a wide braille line, but in an elegant and ergonomic profile. Slightly longer than a standard qwerty keyboard, the ALVA 570 Satellite Pro delivers virtually the same amount of information as a conventional 80-character display but with less reach and hand motion.
